OBJECTIVE
Review [PACKAGING ARTWORK] before handoff to [PRINT VENDOR OR PROCESS].
CONTEXT
Dieline and specifications: [DIELINE SPECIFICATIONS]. Material and finish: [MATERIAL AND FINISH]. Required copy and marks: [REQUIRED CONTENT].
INSTRUCTIONS
Check the supplied material for panel orientation, fold interactions, seam placement, trim proximity, text legibility, image resolution risks, and finish-related concerns. Identify whether critical copy or branding could be hidden when the package is assembled or displayed. Separate visible layout findings from technical checks requiring source files or printer software. List questions about bleed, ink setup, overprint, spot finishes, barcode validation, and proofing where relevant. Prioritize issues that could cause expensive reprints. Recommend a physical mockup review sequence before approval.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not invent printer specifications, statistics, regulatory requirements, or successful barcode tests. Flag assumptions. Do not certify production readiness from a screenshot or substitute for qualified regulatory review.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver a risk-ranked review, printer clarification questions, and a sign-off checklist with an assigned owner for each check.
